without compromise. What is Third Party Verification? Third party verifications are an independent tick in the box, verifying either a product or a set of products compliance with a particular standard. Excel has invested in such test and verification programmes for over 10 years, working closely with laboratories such as Delta and 3P based in Denmark, and ETL in America. What s the difference between Component and Channel verification? Excel Category 6 and Category 6A systems are amongst a handful in the industry with both channel and component verification. In both cases, products are provided to the laboratory for testing to ISO and EIA/TIA cabling standards. Within these standards documents are performance requirements for both a channel, as found in most cabling installations, and for the components, which make up these channels. So, for example, a manufacturer can provide the lab with a number of individual components cable, keystone, patch panel, patch cord and request that these be tested in isolation against the requirements of the standard. This is component level certification. Alternatively the manufacturer may provide a set of these components terminated in their factory to a 4 connector channel model as typically found in the field. A review of the market will show that a reasonable number of cabling system manufacturers can provide channel compliance certificates. Channel compliance is an easier certificate to gain, as manufacturers can tweak the performance of certain components to compensate for poorer performance elsewhere in the channel. For example, a cable could be designed to perform well above the standard to compensate for a keystone jack that does not meet, or marginally meets the required specification. With component certification there is no hiding place. Each product is tested to meet the standard and this really is the ultimate performance test for a manufacturer looking to promote third party verification as a key feature of its systems performance and quality standards. Who is Delta? EC VERIFIED from Delta is the ultimate independent mark of global approval for cables and connecting hardware. It guarantees that the products approved by Delta as an independent third party testing laboratory have been tested to all international relevant standards in the most exacting way, under rigorous control, and with regular inspection of the manufacturer s production quality. Some of Europe s most experienced engineers and technicians work on the products in the best equipped modern laboratories. It stands for undisputed world-wide quality assurance. 3
